This week we had a freebie on Top Ten Tuesday, so I decided to pull out my letter tiles again. After shuffling, I turned over...

The Letter D

...the letter D! 

So here you go: ten authors whose first or last name start with a D. ðŸ™‚

Melanie Dickerson
  Melanie Dickerson
I really enjoy Melanie's fairy tale retellings. Coming in just a few weeks: a new take on the Pied Piper!

Negotiator  Dee Henderson
Dee has given so much to the Christian romantic suspense market. The O'Malleys remain a favorite with many!

Amanda Dykes  Amanda Dykes
You'd have to live under a rock not to have heard of Amanda's fantastic debut, Whose Waves These Are.

Charles Dickens  Charles Dickens
This classic author has brought us many wonderful tales, including A Christmas Carol, pictured here.

Dani Pettrey  Dani Pettrey
Another queen of romantic suspense, Dani keeps readers coming back for each exciting adventure.

Jennifer A Davids  Jennifer A. Davids
Jennifer loves bringing history to life, whether it's set in Britain or her native Ohio.

Jennifer Delamere  Jennifer Delamere
Here's another Jennifer who loves historical fiction! Doesn't that cover with Big Ben just draw you in?

Daniel Defoe  Daniel Defoe
He gave us Robinson Crusoe, which once upon a time I read in a children's version, and other books which I have not read at all. ðŸ˜‰

DiAnn Mills  DiAnn Mills 
DiAnn started off writing historical fiction, but she's switched over to romantic suspense and remains a popular author.

Denise Hunter  Denise Hunter
True confessions: I've never read Denise Hunter. I think I would like her, but somehow we've never connected. A goal for 2020?

Hereafter


The final book in the Lost Princess series is here! If you missed any of you my reviews, you can find them at these links: Always Evermore Foremost

With eldest princess Adelaide Constance ready to reclaim her rightful place as queen of Mercia, it is time for youngest princess Emmeline to come out of hiding. Raised in isolation in Inglewood Forest., Emmeline has always known her true identity, but she loves her quiet home and has no interest in stepping into the public eye, especially during a war.

When crown prince Ethelrex finally tracks down Emmeline and threatens her family, Emmeline is forced to leave her home and soon finds herself being used as a pawn against the sisters she has never met. Her lonely background has not prepared her to stand against manipulation or face the fears that roil inside her. Emmeline must quickly learn to embrace her heritage and her gifts if she hopes to aid her sisters and help remove evil King Ethelwulf from the throne.

There were a number of things that made this story stand out from the others. Emmeline was quite the reluctant heroine, and I thought it was very realistic that she would have a hard time being brave and wise when her world before she was captured had been so small. I was also shocked and pleasantly surprised to find out the identity of the hero of this book. While he has been present throughout the series, I would not have guessed he would turn out to have his own story. He goes through quite a transformation in his own right.

If you like medieval fairy tales, this series is one you should check out. Each book is full of danger and adventure, and the conclusion is highly satisfying.

I received my copy of the book from the author. All opinions in this review are my own.
